Mayor Bloomberg Speaks Out For Immigration Visa Reform

Yet another prominent United States Politician has spoken up for immediate and extensive immigration reform, especially in relation to worker visas. This week, New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg addressed the U.S. Chamber of Commerce regarding his four-step immigration reform plan that would benefit businesses as well as the national economy.

Bloomberg pointed out a major barrier in the fight for sensible immigration reform: party politics are often getting in the way. While democrats are obsessed with worker visa reform, Republicans are obsessed with securing our borders from outside dangers – but Bloomberg believes that we can work toward both goals at the same time.

Like a number of others, Bloomberg said during his speech that the United States needs to increase the number of green cards offered to skilled foreign workers – especially those who can help strengthen our science and technology sectors. In fact, he believes there should not be a cap on how many skilled workers we welcome. In addition, he believes that foreign students who earn a graduate degree in science, technology, engineering or math should automatically receive a green card along with their application. Finally, he believes that foreign entrepreneurs should have more chances to start businesses on United States soil.
